1.) Blair Witch
After a huge surprise at SDCC 2016 The Blair Witch lore is back.

A clever piece of marketing that made the original so unique – when moviegoers thought the found footage film was a real documentary by college students.

Over the next few months we have some really great horror films coming out – and these are just the major releases. I am certain a few indie films will slip through the cracks on VOD and Netflix. But one thing is for certain, there are plenty of scares to look forward to from now until the end of 2017.
